On December 1, 2006, the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2006 celebrated its one-month anniversary by welcoming its millionth visitor, a lady named Ms. Supawan Narkkram who traveled from another province called Nakornsawan province, a five-hour drive, to Chiang Mai province just to see the show.
The millionth visitor was welcomed by the expo organizer’s executives, including the Deputy Director General, a musical band, the expo’s mascots, and a good number of media representatives. She was announced the millionth visitor in front of uncountable series of flash lights from the media’s cameras and received an accommodation room from a six-star hotel called Oriental Mandarin Dara Dhevi Hotel, a VVIP tour around the expo on an electric car, a gift set from the expo and plenty of media exposure.
